Solihull PEO to ask for upfront payment for iLR?

[[iD]]

A friend of mine is at his appointment there at Solihull today. Still stuck there and he confirmed that he was charged before they even looked at his file.
So there you go, no more paying fee for approval at Solihull.

Thanks for this, Is he a member here. Could you ask him to post an experience once he is done please.

He is not a member here.
He applied as Sole trader and was asked about why his business gone down and some other general queries.
He lived with his wife for last 5 years but wasn't registered as married, she was on Post study work visa and year and a half ago switched to spouse visa.
Case worker had some issues with it since his wife hadn't completed 2 years on spouse visa but at the end they looked around and spent 2 hours finding out if his wife is eligible. At the end they gave both ILR.
Overall experience was pleasant and needless to say he is over the moon to have getting out of visa net

I'd still say the same thing, my friend was charged beforehand on 8th. If they follow the book they have to charge you beforehand, for some reason if they didn't do that in the past then it doesn't mean that rules have been changed.
They're within their rights to charge beforehand.

It looks like they take payment without even asking. My guess is they will take payment no matter what is the result. Am l right?
